Winston had his outfit made from scratch by Will Clappison's mother
Dogs, a cat, a horse and even a guinea pig have been getting in the Coronation spirit.
Owners have been sharing images of their pets dressed up for the occasion with some going to great lengths for the right outfit.
Several said their pets had watched the ceremony as it unfolded at Westminster Abbey.
"Winston has already claimed prime spot on the sofa. He is very demanding," said dog owner Will Clappison, from Hessle, in East Yorkshire.
His dachshund's outfit was made from scratch over several hours after "meticulous measurements" to ensure it was fit for a king.
